Basil Thai Holy Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Basil Thai Holy Essential Oil, known in Thailand as “Bai Kra Pao” and in India as Tulsi , is a sacred, spicy, and profoundly aromatic herb oil distilled from Ocimum tenuiflorum — the revered Holy Basil plant.
Its fragrance is warm, clove-like, and herbaceous , with deep green and peppery undertones that convey both spiritual power and grounding calm .
Unlike Sweet or Tropical Basil, Holy Basil carries a more complex, earthy-spicy character , blending freshness with sacred depth.
In perfumery, it adds a mystical, herbal dimension to incense, spice, and green compositions.
In aromatherapy, it is celebrated for its purifying, focusing, and emotionally uplifting energy — long considered the “elixir of life” in Ayurvedic and Thai herbal traditions.
At Herbsmetics, Thai Holy Basil is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests explore how spiritual botanicals can bring balance, clarity, and strength to fragrance creation.
